Mother's Day

A friend from church created the above picture, Carolyn Staut.

We're home. We had fun. The house is fine, as are all the animals. It's a day of mixed feelings--for what was, what is, and for what might have been-- and still a happy day. I am thinking of friends and others who do not have living mothers and hope the day has been pleasant despite that emptiness. I am blessed to have four children, really six-- counting spouses.
